  1. Sike! What's that? RR use to mean Ride Report. This time it
    means Reading Report.

    I've been riding and will report on a very enlightening
    reason why SS is right for me.....AND SHOULD BE FOR YOU
    ALSO! Ha! I still haven't lost my preaching ability.

    Anyway check out these interesting articles

    Carbs are your friends...as if you didn't already know http-

    High Price Roadie BvllSh!t active.comstory.cfm
    story_id=10575&sidebar=640&category=gearguide_cycling

    I especially liked the part about bunny hopping a crash. Of
    course this couldn't have been done on any other sub $7k
    bike.....Jeeze, roadies buy into the marketing [censored] also.

    Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass
    rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an
    immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

    I'm still puzzling over the "Microsoft vs. Oracle" part.
    Does Oracle do an OS these days? Is it big enough to fight
    M'Soft over?

    ;-?

    What? Have you never heard of the massive "Microsoft vs.
    Oracle" debate? 🙂

    The only thing I could think of was MS SQL v Oracle,
    however, I think the author's just not very bright
    (Californian?) and has confused Oracle with *nix.

    protein are fat, and those who eat primarily complex
    carbohydrates are thin.

    Are us Americans the most gullible, marketing-susceptible
    morons on the planet?

    Just goes to show you how much idiots talk out of
    their @sses!

    Microsoft vs Oracle hmmmm I guess that would be analogous to
    Sony vs Ford.

    Of course at best he may have been referring to MS SQL
    server. In which case he would be an utter an complete moron
    if he thinks MS SQL server is comparable to Oracle's
    database product.... But wait, he already is an utter and
    complete moron.....hmmmm?

    I'm beginning to think so. I'm probably 60 to 70 percent
    carbs 40 to 30 percent protein in dietary terms. At 170 if
    I flipped and did 60 to 70 percent protein and 40 to 30
    carbs I'd probably be 200 lbs with not enough energy to get
    up the stairs.

    Of course there are NUMEROUS other factors involved beside
    just percentages of carbs vs proteins. See "Nutrition For
    Endurance Athletes" by Dr. Monique Ryan.

    Yes, but c'mon comparing MS SQL Server to Oracle is like
    comparing JD to Scottskie or whatever that "Whack Jobs" name
    is....I leave it to you to figure out who the Oracle is.
